An elderly gentleman of 85 feared his wife was getting hard of hearing. So one day he called her doctor for a hearing-test appointment. The doctor made the appointment for two weeks ahead, and said meanwhile there was a simple informal test the husband could do to give some idea of the state of her problem.
"Here's what you do," said the doctor, "start out about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response."
That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he's in the living room. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens." In a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for supper?" No response.
So he moves to the other end of the room, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for supper?" Still no response.
Next he moves into the dining room, about 20 feet from his wife, and asks, "Honey, what's for supper?" No response, so he walks up to the kitchen door, only 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for supper?"
Again there is no response, so he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for supper?"
"Dang it Earl, for the fourth time, CHICKEN!"
